Because our users want *us* to make it work.

We have a specific system that we use and not everyone wants to bother with using Lighttpd. Some use Apache... but some want a speed increase and don't mind hacking on a lighttpd.conf file. With us... when you make the move to lighttpd, you take on more responsibility. Apache isn't sexy enough (anymore) for people to want to take on that responsibility. -Robby -- /****************************************************** * Robby Russell, Founder.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON, Rails Development, Consulting & Hosting * Portland, Oregon | p: 503.351.4730 | f: 815.642.4068 * www.planetargon.com | www.robbyonrails.com * Programming Rails | www.programmingrails.com *******************************************************/ _______________________________________________ PDXRuby mailing list [email protected] IRC: #pdx.rb on irc.freenode.net http://lists.pdxruby.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxruby
